Title: Joann's Prom Dress contest

Anyone else (14-19) gonna enter? I'm so excited to buy my fabric! Even if I don't win, which I probably won't, I wanted to make my prom dress anyways, this'll just make it that much more exciting. I had an idea that I thought was cool, but after five other sketches I've ended up with an awesome design that I know I can stick with.

WOO~~~

That's awesome.

I feel bad for those Marylanders and Vermonters, though. I wonder why it's void there.

Wish I could but I'm not using Joann's fabric. I got all my material from a friend or it was stuff that was lying around. >_> Good luck to you though! :3

Good luck to all of you guys!!! I'm always so impressed by the things people make on this site, makes me jealous that I have pretty much zero sewing skill. XD

I'm making one~
My friend Sarah is one of the most beautiful people ever, I'm not talking just people I know, she kicks movie stars out of the water.
Anyways, I'm making a dress for her~
Gotta love having a beautiful friend that gets you extra points just because of her face and body.

Agreed.
I have a general design in my head, but I can't draw so it's going to take a bit to get on to paper.
